Y.Bhg Tan Sri Dato' Azman Hashim is a prominent banker with vast experience in the banking and financial sphere. He is the Chairman of the AmBank Group - a banking and financial services group.

Tan Sri has been involved in banking since 1960, after his return from Australia as a Chartered Accountant. He worked with Bank Negara Malaysia from 1960–1964 and was subsequently appointed to the Board of Malayan Banking Berhad in 1966. In addition to being a Chartered Accountant, Tan Sri is also a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators and a Fellow of the Institute of Bankers, Malaysia.

In recognition of his high calibre, Tan Sri's banking career rapidly progressed and he became the Executive Director of Malayan Banking Berhad from 1971 to 1980 and Executive Chairman of Kwong Yik Bank Berhad (now RHB Bank Berhad) from 1980 to 1982. He was then appointed Chairman of the AmBank Group, a position he continues to hold today.

Tan Sri is the Chairman of the Association of Merchant Banks in Malaysia, as well as the National Productivity Corporation and Pacific Basin Economic Council (PBEC) Malaysia. Yet despite his hectic schedule, Tan Sri finds time to be involved in the welfare of many organisations, including the Malaysian Medical Association Foundation, Malaysian South-South Corporation Berhad, Malaysia-Japan Economic Association, and Friends of Prisons Association.

Tan Sri is also very much involved in the fields of commerce and industry as he sits on the National Economic Consultative Council II (MAPEN II), Business Advisory Council of APEC (ABAC), Trilateral Commission (Asia-Pacific Group), Board of Advisors, AIM Center for Corporate Social Responsibility, Malaysia-British Business Council, Malaysian-China Business Council, Malaysia-Australia Foundation and the ASEAN-Japanese Business Meeting (Malaysia Committee, Keizai Doyukai).
